What are people’s impressions of high ISO / low light performance on #Fujifilm’s recent cameras such as #XH2? Asking since it seems impossibly good, like, indoor ISO 3200 look like they barely have any chromatic noise.
Given Pink News are replacing their journalists with AI and platforming UK transphobic cabinet minister Wes Streeting, it is probably time to block their accounts and stop boosting or sharing their articles / links - in case you (still) hadn't got the message yet?

In case it wasn’t clear:

If your designs aren’t accessible they aren’t going to work.

Your average user does not exist.

This is an incorrect bias is built on an ableism.

People have disabilities.

You need accessibility or your designs will not work at scale.

Full stop.

Here is a video demonstrating how truly awful the encryption implementation is in TeleGuard, a 'secure' messaging app with more than 1 million downloads. App uploads users private keys to company server; this shows the company is able to decrypt messages. Details: https://www.404media.co/a-secure-chat-apps-encryption-is-so-bad-it-is-meaningless/

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

Wow. I don't use Chrome, but glad I deleted my Linked In account.

Them: if you set aside all the ethical concerns…

Me: this is what evil is. This is how evil talks.

I can’t have a conversation with any genAI boosters that is remotely productive precisely because of this.
